I'm pleased to see some positive chit chat about the solid base bullets, they were a favorite of mine. Glad to see them make a comeback and I hope it is a successfull one. Maybe Nosler will choose to load the Whitetail ammo in 7mm Rem Mag in either the 150 or 162gr.
I used that bullet in my 220 swift back in the eighties. I took several white tail deer as well as javelina and coyotes. I'd use them for deer today if Nosler still made 'em.
Ya'll sit back this might be long. This is about a hunt that wasn't even mine but it a big impact on how I looked at hunting in general.
Back in November of 1968 my dad and I were new to deer hunting. My dad had been a bird hunter in the past and I had a couple of years of dove and quail...
Falteringummer is the only season we have in South Texas. Temps range from 110 deg to 0 deg on any given successive days. The only times I ever changed out truck tires was to put on solid tires that could survive mesquite thorns.
I didn't mention the binoculars I use. I have a 10x50 BassPro binocular that's actually a pretty fair glass. It's good for about 80% of the day. The first and last 20 minutes of legal hours they're useless. I upgraded to a Leupold 12x50 that are good for 1/2 hour before and after shooting...
I'd have to go back to before I had a drivers license to find that simpler time.

My first center fire rifle was a Winchester 94 Canadian Centennial 30-30. My dad gave it to me for my 12th birthday. I killed my first deer with it a few months later. It is my only lever rifle.
I've been having this discussion with myself for a year or so. I have a model 700 varmint in 22-250 that I don't particularly care for and have been thinking of what I could do with a short action.
Three from the ring was a three step stroke, 1. out of the ring (left side) with a cross body forearm stroke to the opposite side collarbone, 2. wrap around with a backhand stroke to the arm above the elbow, 3. finally another backhand stroke to that nerve spot right below the pocket on the...
When I'm shooting handguns (9mm & 45 acp) I use Walker electronic ear buds. They provide good protection. If someone breaks out a 357 or 44 it's time to put on the muffs. I use a pair of cheap sonic ear plugs and muffs when I'm shooting rifles or anything under a tin roof.
